Motorcyclist hits 200kmh on State Highway 1

[miloking]

fuck I hope there's no cops over the brow of this hill - I'm 100kmh over the licence losing speed....

Once you are over that magical "licence losing" speed spot...sky is the limit Kind of like a sound barrier....

(well at least thats the message iam getting with this 135+Km/h = 28 day loss of licence + winning 50 Demerits + $600ish goes to donut fund)

[SMOKEU]

Perhaps he just has an incredibly small penis.

Did anyone even consider that possibility?

I try not to think about other guys cocks.

Its not as easy as that. At 40kmh over you are putting your riding future in the hands of a cop's opinion.

There are riders in NZ who have been charged with speeding at over 100kmh over the limit eg 180 in an 80, went to court and got the 28 day walk, 50 points and $1000+ fine. They could consider themselves 'lucky'.

But there are also a heap of riders who got busted for dangerous/reckless at 40kmh over or so for doing something fuckwittly stupid. Then you are looking at major bans, fines and possibly jail time.

The cops have guidelines for issuing offence notices but there is enough leeway to throw you a break. Or not.

So where you choose to speed, who phones up to complain, what drivers you blast past, whether you try and run can all effect what punishment you will end up with.

What a pathetic argument.

Touché

no its not you tool, speed does not kill, the enviroment it is done in does. nobody has burst into fuckin flames from exceeding a posted speed limit.

Oh neat I'm a tool. I think I've just realised as to what your post was referring too as made clearer by your later posts.

Speeding is inherently dangerous regardless due to the potential side effects of coming off. The environment plays a huge factor in these effects and you are right, the autobahns are safer by a large margin compared to, well any road in NZ because they are designed for high speeds.

Bit of a redundant post I know but these threads are generally circular anyway

Ahh i see, well that kind of puts me between two places knowing that its up to discretion of mr.fuzz

lets say iam doing the magical 136Km/h:

option 1) get a nice cop (1-5%) ...so its a 28 days on the spot, 50 Points, $1000
option 2) get dickhead cop (95-99%) ... its still 28 days on the spot, 50 Points, $1000 AND on top of that reckless driving so bike impounded and court appearance, disqualification, jail time and all that jazz

so now if i know i did more than 136 and got spotted i can either choose to pull over and pray for Option 1) or go nuts a do a Mr.red ducati on SH1 as iam likely in for option 2) anyway......

only good thing about option 2) is i get a ride in back of a police car

with your attitude yeah, u gonna get the book thrown at you

alot of the good cops will actually only give you a ticket for say 130, a warning and on your way (providing everything else is in order and you don't give 'attitude')

Well, i know i always get book thrown at me and i dont even open my mouth anymore and it still doesnt help...must be some arrogant look on my face or something

I guess i will decide that on the day...i just wont rely on this possibility of "ticket for 130" based on mercy of some Waikato cop,

so my point is if cops werent such a dicks to me each time i did something little bit wrong i wouldnt be even contemplating these options

Or the back of a hearse.

[Insanity_rules]

Cant post up pics, dont want your keyboard getting all messy.

Thats OK my keyboard is one of those water resistant ones, please post away. Or you could always PM them.

[miloking]

Well thats assuming someone does a U-turn

Well I have to make it sound believable, since I ride a Honda.

[Katman]

Well that's assuming you're exceedingly stupid.

[Quasi]

Now way out back of say Lake ferry with nothing else at all in sight and 4kms of straight, flat, empty road in front of the ST4 and ................ whole different scenario.

hey dude - stop passing on the secret spots.....

i heard that Kearnes now says he was mis quoted.
If thats the case then the Herald should publish a retraction
